Sunday Dinner is a great American tradition that has all but disappeared. I want to bring it back. Join me in an exploration of roots food, culinary history, and kitchen folklore. Let’s remake Sunday Dinner from scratch.

Our First Official Sunday Dinner
On Friday my husband and I decided that our family would start eating weekly Sunday dinner and guess what?... This past Sunday came and went without a single thought of Sunday dinner. Not that we didn't eat Sunday dinner. We did, in a way. Sunday was my Aunt Alice's birthday and we had a lovely Sunday dinner to celebrate the occasion. She requested pork roast, asparagus, boiled new potatoes, and a strawberry pie for dessert. We even put a candle in a homemade brownie because my daughter doesn't think it's a birthday unless we sing the "Happy Birthday" song and somebody blows out a candle... with her help, of course. No photos were taken to commemorate the occasion and there was no mention of the importance or meaning of the event. We had a leisurely family meal without caring if anyone else knew about it or could see a record of what happened later. I guess it was the perfect Sunday dinner after all.
